Sony Pushes PlayStation Home into Fall, Extends Beta Testing
Sony has announced two things this morning. One is that PS3 users will have wait on PlayStation Home for just a bit longer, Fall actually. Secondly, the closed beta will continue through Summer and an open beta will start in the Fall.
According to a statement from Kazuo Hirai, Sony Computer Entertainment’s president and group CEO:
“We understand that we are asking PS3 and prospective PS3 users to wait a bit longer, but we have come to the conclusion that we need more time to refine the service to ensure a more focused gaming entertainment experience than what it is today. Our overarching objective is to provide users with new gaming experiences that are available only on PlayStation Home. Spending more time on the development and on the closed beta testing reaffirms our commitment to bringing a quality service, maintaining the PlayStation tradition.”
Originally slated for launch in late 2007, it was pushed to Spring 2008 and this time, instead of giving us another target date, they have just stated Fall 2008. Details of the extended beta testing will be forthcoming according to Sony, so check back often for more updates.
